Water disinfection involves the use of different types of disinfectants, which are oxidizing
agents that react with natural organic matter (NOM) to form disinfection by-products (DBPs) …

Disinfection is an integral component of water treatment performed daily on large volumes of
water worldwide. Chemical disinfection may result in the unintended production of …

■ BACKGROUND This biennial review covers developments in water analysis for emerging
environmental contaminants over the period of 2011− 2013. Analytical Chemistry's policy is …

The introduction of drinking water disinfection greatly reduced waterborne diseases.
However, the reaction between disinfectants and natural organic matter in the source water …

Haloacetamides (HAcAms), an emerging class of nitrogen-based disinfection byproducts (N-
DBPs) of health concern in drinking water, have been found in drinking waters at μg/L levels …

Public water systems are increasingly facing higher bromide levels in their source waters
from anthropogenic contamination through coal-fired power plants, conventional oil and gas …

Biological activated carbon (BAC) is widely used as a polishing step at full-scale drinking
water plants to remove taste and odor compounds and assimilable organic carbon. BAC …

Hydraulic fracturing wastewaters discharged to surface water have led to elevated bromide
and iodide levels, as well as enhanced formation of brominated trihalomethanes, haloacetic …

Drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs) are primarily formed by the reaction of
disinfectants with natural organic matter (NOM) and bromide or iodide. Precursors can also …

Coastal utilities exploiting mildly saline groundwater (< 150 mg/L chloride) may be
challenged by disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation, a concern likely to increase with sea …
